During this experiment, the animal eliminated 100.7 lbs. 
The nitrogen balance 
urine containing 1.05 lbs. nitrogen. 
was therefore as follows: 
Income in food 2.34 Ibs.; outgo 
in urine 1.05 lbs ; and in feces .43 Ibs.; implying a gain of 
.86 lbs. nitrogen corresponding to 5.37 lbs. protein. 
The 
total heat of combustion of the urine as determined was 
4392 calories. 
* Calculated from digestible protein.
